Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken


This slow cooker recipe from The Recipe Critic is tasty with tender chicken. It isn't as quick to put together as Creamy Lemon Chicken since you have to bread and brown them before putting in the slow cooker, but it's worth the little bit of work. I even made it for some picky visitors who raved over it.

Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 c. flour
1 t. pepper
1/4 c. butter
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1/2 c. fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare your chicken by rinsing it and trimming the fat and cutting into pieces to resemble tenders.

In a shallow dish, combine the flour and pepper. Coat the chicken in the flour.

Melt the butter in a saucepan on your stovetop over medium heat. Once melted, brown each side of the chicken, but not cooking it throughout because they will cook in the crockpot.

Spray crockpot with cooking spray and place the chicken into the crockpot. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning package top of the chicken.

Mix together the lemon juice and chicken broth. Pour over the chicken and seasonings. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
